It was decent’ish penalty, if keeper went wrong way, then it’s a goal - BUT it was at a nice height for the keeper IF the keeper went the right way - that said, it could easily have gone into the roof of the net off the keeper
When I played football, I was the penalty taker, and I was pretty decent (I’m not kidding !!!) - I always put them along the ground into either corner - I only ever ‘missed’ one penalty, when it hit the inside of the post, pinged along the goal line, and hit the keepers head - the ball cannoned off his head down towards the corner flag - keeper knew nothing about it, but his teammates were treating him like he was Peter Shilton!!!
I hope this doesn’t further dent Ronnie’s confidence, he looked so dejected when it was saved - he would have been thinking just before the penalty ‘this is my chance to jump start my season’
I still think he will come good - it must be difficult to be away from home, foreign country, on your own, wife is pregnant (I think)
